Now that you can tweet more characters on twitter there's more room to create great content. The number of characters isn’t as important as making sure every tweet makes a meaningful contribution to your digital strategy. Make every tweet count.On average, around 8,000 tweets are tweeted every second. That’s a lot of clutter for you to break through. Just throwing tweets into the stream won’t help. You have to write things that capture attention.

Twitter Writing Strategy

Know your goal for being on twitter. Are you trying to establish expertise? Create brand awareness? Promote an event? Every tweet needs to contribute to reaching that goal.Write about things that matter to your target audience. And write in a way that will resonate with them.I write my tweets in batches. I remind myself of my goal and who I want to reach. Then, I write things that matter.Keep in mind that on Twitter you need to cover the same information several times to increase your chances of being seen. Don’t post the exact tweet again and again – make tweaks so that each is unique even if the underlying message is the same.
